You really had to dig deep for this tip and a lot of trial and error involved. We appreciate your efforts and sharing with us. ❤❤❤

[@DanielKovacs]

Yesss 😂 alot 😅😅😅😅

Better display is the best app for the thing! It is not much to even pay for it and support the creator. So many settings and works smoothly!

[@DanielKovacs]

Thanks man 😘❤️ i will probably upgrade aswell. I like the app.

[@Benn_TK]

[@iamdandavies]

Awesome! I needed this for the the same reason. Great tip!

[@DanielKovacs]

Same reason? 😅 so you are my competition 😘 xD Do you also create a DaVinci Resolve Course? Or what are you recording? 😊

[@iamdandavies]

@@DanielKovacs Nah, for my WordPress course 😀

[@japjnl]

Only video I found about the better display app, thanks for that video man, truly a lifesaver! Also, what happened after those 14 days? Did it stop working? I see that notice as well.

[@DanielKovacs]

I purchased it. Amazong tool to make videos

[@f0cus3dMcYt]

[@f0cus3dMcYt]

How does Resolve look in that scale while editing a vertical video? is that gives you more height room on the MBP 14?

[@DanielKovacs]

Because of the HiDPI i talked about in the Video, the quality of the Screen and the Screen Recording even in DaVinci Resolve is like the original Resolution of the MacBook itself. Except the top and the bottom has a bit more black bars towards the screen edge (like you see in the video and in the Thumbnail) - That is because a 16:9 Screen 🖥️ is a bit shorter in the Vertical length as a 16:10 Screen 🖥️…. And all the MacBooks have 16:10 Screens. So if your question is, in which resolution do you see more of a Vertical Video in DaVinci: Of course the 16:10 Resolution…. But if you also want to record the Screen in 16:9 and want to see everything, you have to change the Resolution to 16:9…. And that is the reason this video exists 😅😂 so to be fair i don’t understand your question. It should already after watching this video be clear to you. I hope this helps ❤

[@MUTABAZISTUDIOS]

@@DanielKovacs thanks for the feeedback I wish BlackMagic could allow us to adjust elements like Premiere Pro in terms of height

[@ciaranoglesby]

Can I ask a stupid question? why not just upload to youtube in 16:10? I now noticed on of my own YT videos is 16:10 and another is 16:9. the 16:9 video has the ugly black side bars you mentioned.

[@DanielKovacs]

That is a valid and good question. 🥰❤️ Here my take on that. If i record and also upload in 19:10 the experience (without any black bars) would be best for the people who watch that KZbin Video on a 16:10 Screen 🖥️ Currently that is alot of Laptops and MacBooks. Maybe even iPad (But iPad has a 4:3 aspect ratio) But 80% of todays consumption happens on Smartphones 📱 and the majority of those have 16:9 or even lower like 16:8 or 16:7 because they are a bit longer. Most TV’s are at 16:9 So the best middle ground to all of them is 16:9 😅😅😅

[@ciaranoglesby]

@@DanielKovacs Very good points. I hadn't considered smartphones.

[@japjnl]

Are you also using something to track/highlight the mouse cursor so you can see where you are clicking (in the course video) and/or something that shows which keys you are pressing?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

I just tried to use this with the Free Trial and when I try to set up the 1920x1080 as a Custom Resolution it says 'Currently not available'. I wonder if they made it so this feature can only be used with the paid version now?

[@DanielKovacs]

No. Maybe there was another setting i missed showing. I used it in the free Version

[@DanielKovacs]

Also you have to restart.

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@DanielKovacs thank you! I think that was the solve. After restarting it gave me more 16:9 options.

[@SiddharthNahataJain]

Hi Daniel, I have MBP M1 14 inch with retina display resolution of 1512x982. what should be the base canvas resolution & output scaled resolution of obs? I have set both to same resolution of my retina display ie, 1512x982. is it good or should I change anything?

[@DanielKovacs]

I have the MBP M2 14 - so my settings from the Video apply to you. For OBS i keep 1920:1080. The scaling happens with the first setup through “better display” like you see in the video.

[@SiddharthNahataJain]

@@DanielKovacs I have MBP M1 14 inch with retina display resolution of 1512x982. I have set base canvas resolution to 1512x982 & output scaled resolution, I have set to 1920:1080. As better display is not free after 1 month. Any suggestions?

[@wallynm]

Hi, your tutorial is very nice, in my case for some reason, when i turn HiDPI it disables the custom resolution of 1600x900 and updates for the default one. 😥 Update, i've was using a old Somona OSX version, and for some reason after updating the Mac the option you showed here, it's working as the video, now my OSX version is 14.6.1. Without this version, the HiDPi wasn't working correctly!

[@DanielKovacs]

Thanks for letting us know 🙏❤️

[@GuidovonMarientreu]

This does not work for me all 16:9 resoloutions state not available.

[@DanielKovacs]

Restart after the change of settings
